The Arab Mind
''The Arab Mind'' is a non-fiction cultural psychology book by cultural anthropologist Raphael Patai, who also wrote ''The Jewish Mind''. The book advocates a tribal-group-survival explanation for the driving factors behind Arab culture. It was first published in 1973, and later revised in 1983. A 2007 reprint was further "updated with new demographic information about the Arab world".〔# Recovery Resources Press, ISBN 978-0-9672015-5-9.〕
The book came to public attention in 2004, after investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, writing for ''The New Yorker'' revealed that the book was "the bible of the neocons on Arab behavior" to the effect that it was the source of the idea held by the US military officials responsible for the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib scandal that "Arabs are particularly vulnerable to sexual humiliation".〔("Its best use is as a doorstop" ) by Brian Whitaker, ''The Guardian''.〕

A four-page comparison to Spanish America is made in Appendix II.
The Foreword is by Norvell B. DeAtkine, Director of Middle East Studies at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg.
